Abstract: A method of comparing multiple seismic survey data sets of a reservoir, is provided, wherein a first seismic survey data set is taken at a first time and a second seismic survey data set is taken at a second time, to detect changes in the reservoir between the first time and the second time. Generally, the method comprises design of a crossequalization function for the second data set based on a comparison of unchanging portions of the two data sets. Also provided is a processing method for preparing each survey according to similar processing steps with information taken from each survey.
